SVM Speaker Verification Using Session Variability Modelling and GMM Supervectors
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper demonstrates that modelling session variability during GMM training can improve the performance of a GMM supervector SVM speaker verification system. Recently, a method of modelling session variability in GMM-UBM systems has led to significant improvements when the training and testing conditions are subject to session effects. In this work, session variability modelling is applied during the extraction of GMM supervectors prior to SVM speaker model training and classification. Experiments performed on the NIST 2005 corpus show major improvements over the baseline GMM supervector SVM system.

Applying SVMs and weight-based factor analysis to unsupervised adaptation for speaker verification
This paper presents an extended study on the implementation of support vector machine (SVM) based speaker verification in systems that employ continuous progressive model adaptation using the weight-based factor analysis model. The weight-based factor analysis model compensates for session variations in unsupervised scenarios by incorporating trial confidence measures in the general statistics ...
متن کاملCombining continuous progressive model adaptation and factor analysis for speaker verification
This paper proposes a novel technique of incorporating factor-analysis-based inter-session variability (ISV) modelling in speaker verification systems that employ continuous progressive speaker model adaptation. Continuous model adaptation involves the use of all encountered trials in the adaptation process through the assignment of confidence measures. The proposed approach incorporates these ...
متن کاملMinivectors: an improved GMM-SVM approach for speaker verification
The accuracy levels achieved by state-of-the-art Speaker Verification systems are high enough for the technology to be used in real-life applications. Unfortunately, the transfer from the lab to the field is not as straight-forward as could be: the best performing systems can be computationally expensive to run and need large speaker model footprints. In this paper, we compare two speaker verif...

متن کاملSpeaker Diarization Based on Gmm Supervectors and Unsupervised Intra-speaker Variability Modeling
This paper presents a novel framework for speaker diarization. Audio is parameterized by a sequence of GMM-supervectors representing overlapping short segments of speech. Session dependent intra-session intra-speaker variability is estimated online in an unsupervised manner, and is removed from the supervectors using Nuisance Attribute Projection (NAP) The supervectors are then projected using ...
